Nutricost Agmatine - Pure Agmatine 100 Servings - Powder

This was my original review from October 2020:“ I don’t take this as a workout supplement; I take it for another (seemingly little-known) purpose: to increase efficacy of my opioid pain medication. I have a hereditary, degenerative neuromuscular disease and have had daily pain for over ten years. Just several months ago I was researching various supplements and came across agmatine. I’d never heard of it. Wiki says it is an “opioid modulator” that supposedly increases the analgesic effect while decreasing tolerance (both very good things). I ordered it to give it a shot. Well, IT WORKS. Very, very well. It is really important to me to take the lowest possible strength of pain medication for as long as possible, since I’m pretty young and will have pain the rest of my life. Since adding this product, I’ve actually been able to back down to four Vicodin a day from the five I’d been taking for a few years. It’s that helpful. My medication is more effective, and for longer stretches of time. I used to barely get four hours of relief, and the agmatine has stretched that to the full six hours between doses. There are occasions when it doesn’t, but they are much less frequent. This has become an integral part of my pain management regimen. I wish I could get the word out to other pain management patients. I did share it with my doctor in the hope that he will look into it and maybe recommend it to other patients. As far as frequency and dose, I take from one-half to one full scoop four or so times per day. In the morning I take it when I take my first pill, but then later I take a half scoop between pills. I probably take 2-3g per day, without any bad side effects. I’ve reordered only this brand, it is always properly sealed. I also have the capsules to take on the go. It does taste bad, but I just dissolve it in a small amount of water and drink it, the bad taste does not linger.”Two years later, I’d like to share an update, hence this edit. I still of course live with chronic pain, and I still take hydrocodone (plus many other things, mostly not controlled meds both prescription and OTC) daily. I still take the same frequency and strength of the opioid and still get significant relief, and agmatine is DEFINITELY a huge part of that. I don’t understand exactly how it works, but can describe the benefits: agmatine somehow helps the hydrocodone to continually be effective but WITHOUT the need/urge to want more and more of the opioid. This aspect seems to be what leads to abuse and addiction: there is a continued craving for the drug, even when it’s not medically necessary (like “needing” it when the pain levels are low), AND on top of that, more and more is needed to achieve the same result. Having dealt with opioid-treated chronic pain for over a decade, I know all of the aspects of how bodies react to it, how much we “need”, how the “need” for the drug eventually surpasses the basic need of pain control and instead morphs into taking it to feed the body’s desire for more…ad infinitum. Well, agmatine totally changes all of that, for the better. I no longer get a “buzzed” type of feeling from the medication (and if you’re taking it for pain relief rather than abusing it, you do NOT want the “buzz” it brings)…I feel totally normal, not buzzed, and fully capable of performing normal human tasks (grocery store runs, mild chores, cooking, etc), AND I never feel like I’m “chasing a buzz” or whatever. I said before that agmatine is a game changer of epic proportions for opioid mediation treatment, and three years after adding it that fact is reaffirmed for me. I truly wish I could share this with so many others living with chronic pain who take opioids…it’s that big of a deal IMO. And I’d like to add that since the very first dose of agmatine I’ve taken, I’ve ONLY taken the Nutricost product (in all fairness, I don’t think there are many companies making it, so there are likely few competitors) that I’ve ordered here from the Nutricost store on Amazon…and every batch is top quality, arrives perfectly, is packaged safely, and is fairly priced. In fact, I’ve started buying other supplements I need from Nutricost and every one has met the same high standards. Nutricost is a great supplier of quality items at good prices and I’d recommend them to anyone.TL;DR: Agmatine is a very successful opioid modulator that can significantly benefit chronic pain patients taking opioid medications, and Nutricost is an excellent and reliable supplier with quality products at good prices

とてもパンプしました。また買います。

トレの30分ほど前に摂取してますが、効果がイマイチ感じられてません！充分な容量なのでもう少し続けてみます。

I like the fact that this is pure agmatine with no added flavors or sweeteners. I'm pretty sensitive to toxic sweeteners like Aspartame, Acesulflame, Splenda, etc so always a good thing when I find a power that I can just mix either with plain water or a preferred juice of my choice.\In this case, I mix this with a juice combination which consists of 33% Grape Juice, 33% Pomegranate Juice, 33% Tart Cherry Juice. Both Grape Juice (the pure stuff, not the stuff that's watered down with other juice) and pure Pomegranate Juice have wonderful effects on your circulation as well as offering protection to your arteries, veins, capillaries. So mixing those with a dosage of the Agmatine and you basically have yourself a super powered circulation cocktail. Oh and the Tart Cherry juice is anti-inflammatory, helps muscle recovery, helps protect your joints, lowers your triglycerides, boosts your HDL cholesterol (the good type) and lowers your LDL cholesterol (the bad type).So yeah, I really love this stuff. Within a few days of starting my Agmatine circulation cocktail, I noticed my lips having a bright red color, and more color in my face as well, which means that without any doubt, this Agmatine cocktail works!Great price, great product, does what its supposed to do. What's not to love?I will definitely be re-purchasing.

It's working great for the reasons I chose it as a supplement being; helps my neuropathy and has given me my appetite back (my two main reasons). The product is well packaged and includes a handy scooper inside. As far as taste "what taste?" It's working for me so I'm happy with it. It will last me a long time too!!
